| Caption : | From the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. brochure, "Alaska via Totem Pole Route, Summer 1905, pg. 5-6: “The new steamship Spokane, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, was designed especially for this service; was built so that not only will she carry passengers in comfort and safety, but will permit every possible facility for sight-seeing and general enjoyment. There is a big observation room where passengers can lounge at ease and see all there is to be seen and yet be sheltered from the winds that at times carry with them an icy breath from the snow-capped Fairweather or St. Elias. Nearly every stateroom is an outdoor room and every bed an idly of restfulness, and the dining-room--that is a center of interest of which the voyager never tires. Five meals a day are scheduled, and with the calm seas of this inside passage, there is seldom an absent passenger at mealtime. The steward's department holds an army of assistants from the best chefs to the agile-footed and attentive waiters. In this department in cold storage are kept necessaries and luxuries enough to provide creature comforts for all, while additional supplies of food fish are taken from these cold, clear waters.” |
